Baby Tonight
Changing Faces Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come closer, listen to me
Baby I'm sure, I've got just what you need
You want me hmmm, and I want you just the same
And I'm not gonna stop, until you call my name
I could be...

[Chorus:]
I could be yours, and you could be mine
You can be my baby tonight
And if it feels good, and if it feels right
You can be my baby tonight...

Let's not waste precious time, hmmm
Just say the words, and I'll make you mine oh
Lay me down, and stroke my body
Baby take your time, make love to me
Do you mind...

Do you mind, if I stroke you up and down
Make you feel, like you've never felt before
Open up, let me give you more
Let me be, your baby tonight...

[Chorus:]
You can be my, you can be my




You can be my baby tonight
(Repeat 3x)

Overall Meaning

In "Baby Tonight" by Changing Faces, the singer is convincing their object of affection to yield to their advances. The song sets off with an invitation to listen in, followed by a declaration that the singer has everything the subject of desire desires. "You want me hmmm, and I want you just the same," they sing as a sort of promise of emotional reciprocity. The singer then suggests that they won't relent until they hear the subject call their name, setting up an appropriate mood of anticipation and seduction.


The chorus of the song drives the mood home as the singer firmly declares their intention to pursue a romantic relationship with the subject. "You can be my baby tonight" becomes the rallying cry. The verse that follows the chorus is particularly erotic, as the singer suggests they are ready to give their all to the subject. The lines "Do you mind if I stroke you up and down / Make you feel like you've never felt before" are particularly assertive, but they are tempered by the singer's invitation to their lover to wallow in the newfound feelings of romance.
